MMA RANKINGS - CHAPTER 1...

1. Anderson Silva
2. GSP
3. BJ Penn
4. Fedor
5. Shogun Rua
6. Lloyoto Machida
7. Jose Aldo
8. Dan Henderson
9. Gegard Mousasi
10. Shinya Aoki

Glad to see Fedor is where he belongs.

I guess I didn't notice this ranking, but Fedor is not #1. Big dudes never are. I always feel like these lists should be littered with smaller guys between featherweight and welterweight since that is where the world's population rests.

Also, how is Gegard top ten? Is he top five in his own division and if so, who has he beaten to deserve it? Maybe it's because he moves up regularly to fight non-top ten competition.

Its not a vote. Its the results.

Looks like the LW rankings are going to get turned upside down.

To me not to crazy with the LW rankings

1.) BJ remains at 1, not bumping him for a close fight and very questionable decision

3.) Frankie at 2, he proved what I've been saying for a while, he's the real 2nd best LW in the UFC and I feel validated in thinking he could take Aoki.

3.) Aoki at 3, he's got the resume even if I think a couple guys would beat him.

ect...

Sorry bro but you gotta put the UFC LHW Champ #1 after just beating BJ Penn. I know it was close but the judges gave it to him, plus he's got a solid record with only one loss.

Yeah Edgar will be my #1. I kept Machida at #1 even though I felt Shogun clearly beat him

I don't care what them crack smokin judges said BJ Penn is the best LW in the world.

Some will agree some won't, it'll be about the same split as opinions on the fight

And +1 MMA

I like the way Shinya Aoki, Frankie Edgar, Jon Fitch and MTB are considered better p4p fighters now by loldog now after BJ doesn't wreck a guy in utter domination and loses a controversial decision.

I agree. In my opinion BJ is still the best LW on the planet... BUT, when making a sheet I have to give the #1 spot to the guy holding the belt (Even if two judges were so blind they could't find the sun on a clear day). BJ will have to be #2 on my sheet until he vindicates himself. BJ of all people should know you have to finish the job and not leave it up to the judges...

Anyone know why the coming soon why go away. I edit and delete it, but its still there!!!

I had the same problem last week. I made a thread about UFC 112 weight in results, then tried to change the topic to and pics after the pics were released but for some reason I could never get the title to change.

Hmm, tried editing and nothing weird

1)I don't think hwy's need be excluded from the list.

2)as a smaller heavy he gets the bonus points any lighter weight guy who fights in multiple weight classes gets.

3)agree on gegard, where's the resume?, but like alot of young guys with talent he rides the hype train into the p4p ranks.

agree, Penn's recent domination should not be ignored because he lost one close fight. I mean Fitch and MTB? I still have BJ over all those guys.

I agree about not dropping Penn, but I also held onto Faber and Torres until after the 2nd loss.

Faber's 2nd loss reinforced my belief that his 1st loss should not drop him from the list. torres's 2nd loss on the other hand......

If Faber beats Aldo he goes back into the P4P and probably back to top 5 in my opinion.

5 might be a little strong but I won't argue against it. He was unlucky with both MTB fights.

He was top 5 before Lyoto won the belt. Lyoto looked a little too human against Shogun whereas Faber got caught the first time and broke his hands the second time. If Faber knocks Jose Aldo out or beats him in convincing fashion I see no reason for him to go back to the 5th spot.
